[QUOTE="my2cents, post: 53037"] Interesting point on the effect of a potential pension buyout will have on corporate earnings and the stock price. The short term impact would probably be negative, especially since the state of the pensions is usually a standard question during conference calls. Once the expenses of the buyout are finally smoothed out, it could help long term, given the low funding levels of many of the multi-employer plans. No doubt the cost of a buyout will be compared to capping off and starting over with a new pension. Additionally, who knows what the state of domestic operations will be in 2008. If domestic volume stays flat, the options with the pensions will probably be limited. [/QUOTE]
